Big Idea: Observations and descriptions of the changes in the world around us are the first steps towards discovering and learning about patterns.
Essential questions: not listed
A.If you were to make a graph of the data, which variable would you put on the x-axis? Which variable would you put on the y-axis? Explain your choices.
The price of the tour is the independent variable, so it goes on the x-axis. The number of customers is the dependent variable, so it goes on the y-axis. B.Make a coordinate graph of the dataon grid paper. shown above. C.Based on your graph, what price do you think the operators should charge? I multiplied each possible tour price by it’s number of potential customers, and they would make the most money if they charged 350 dollars.
Problem 3.2 Follow Up: 1.The number of people who said they would take the tour depended on the price. How does the number of potential customers change as the number increases? The number of customers is always decreasing, but it decreases faster as the price increases. 2.How is the change in the number of people who said they would go on the tour shown in the table? On the graph? On he table, the number of customers gets smaller as the price increases. On the graph, the points get farther apart.
Notes: Multiplying the tour price by the number of customers helpful to see the profit for each price.
